I considered the same thing - if the plexus is well adhered then
why not just leave it there?
But some of the plexus was not well adhered - some came off
fairly easily with just hand pressure on a chisel. I decided I
didn't want to finish the job to discover that the foundation
attachment was weak in spots and in need of replacement.
That said I couldn't "pull" my plexus off -- it was rock hard and
had to be chipped away

Hello all,
I am looking to your
collective wisdom on the fixed port replacement on our 1994
C&C 37/40+. I am aware of the recommendations regarding
VHB and Dow 795.
Due to time
constraints, I am having a highly recommended pro do the
work, and he removed one of the ports today. He asked a
reasonable question, since the plexiglass peeled off without
pulling any of the Plexus off the gelcoat. When he tried to
pull a bit of the Plexus off, as many of you have commented,
it also pulled some of the gelcoat. The Plexus also quite
hard.
So, if the Plexus is
so well adhered, and it will be very stubborn to come off
the gelcoat (and do damage in the process), Should I just
leave the Plexus in place and allow the VHB to attach to
it?
I understand the
thickness of the VHB might make the window stand out a
little proud from the fiberglass by comparison, but I'm not
sure that's a bad tradeoff compared to trying to remove
something that might serve as a good substrate anyway.
Thoughts?
Your
input is greatly appreciated!
